With a mission to contribute to the sustainable development of natural resources through research, nature management, and environmental education, Carmabi is recognized as the leading organization in the Caribbean for applied natural sciences.

What sets CARMABI apart on an international scale is its self-sustaining operational model. The foundation successfully funds a significant portion of its scientific research through park entrance fees, eco-tourism services, and international research grants.

Established in 1955, Carmabi (Caribbean Research and Management of Biodiversity) has stood as a sentinel for nature, bridging the gap between rigorous scientific research and the preservation of our island’s most precious assets. To support Carmabi is to invest in the very heartbeat of the Caribbean.
